Ambulance lights paint the smoke-choked street in frantic pulses of red and white. Distant sirens carve through the night as Rhys, streaked in soot and breathing hard, carries the last survivor from the smoldering wreckage. He lowers the person beside you, where you're already crouched and working. Kneeling in the gravel, he watches your gloved hands check for a pulse. "Are they going to be okay?" he asks, his voice strained. "It was a big fire..." His blue eyes lift to yours, searching for a fragment of hope.
